RE: Re: Artificial sweetener

[Guest guest]

My father tried baking a rhubarb pie with Splenda; he substituted it 1-for-1 as

you are supposed to for the sugar. When we tasted it--YEEOW!--hardly sweet at

all. So, at least with rhubarb it doesn't work like sugar.

Re: Artificial sweetener

I love using splenda especially because you can use it to cook with

as well so you are substituting and it doesnt break down or ruin the

recipes like other sweetners do.

PS. For those living in the US and have access to warehouse stores

like Sams, Costco or BJ's you can normally buy a large box for much

cheaper than paying the expensive grocery store rates!

I tried it in Kool-Aid this week and I had to use 1 and a half cups of

splenda (calls for one cup sugar) to get it even a bit sweet. I think

you need to just add more splenda in most recipes. sus

Sugar-free kool-aid is already sweetened with artificial sweetener-though

I'm not sure which one. I find that this kind is " just right " when it comes

to sweetness. It's expensive here so I save it for those times when I'm

" craving something sweet " .
